    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    You seem to be correct. I enjoyed it, because it does raise some interesting questions. Prince Vintari is an entirely new character. From what we know in the Centauri trilogy the Prince plays no part in David's rescue from Centauri Prime. In fact he doesn't appear in the books. However...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    The Centauri's capability to commit war has indeed been talked about; just flip three or two pages back and you will see the discussion. Cliff Notes version: Galen took Sheridan to the year 2301 at this point the Centauri fleet has been building for the past 39 since 2262. If you have read the...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    From everything I've been reading about what jms has said the only way they will be related is that they all will be in the Babylon 5 universe, not that all the stories will be some grand arc like Babylon 5 the series or Crusade. While it is true the stories that make up Voices in the Dark and...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Actually it's 9 years. The attack happened near the end of the fifth season which was in 2262. This particular lost tale was in 2271. Other than that yea, the Centauri have 49 years to build up their firepower so it's plausible, plus if we take the events in the Centauri trilogy into account...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Hey everyone, especially those who have a problem with TLT, I would recommend you listen to Bruce on the latest Babylon Podcast #76. I will warn anyone who hasn't seen it and care about not having the story spoiled they do talk about the plot.

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Not to stop this whole 'soul' discussion, I thought it might be helpful to quote some of jms's own statements of his beliefs on this topic. Nov. 30 1999: Mar. 18, 2006:

    Shadow War Question - Minor Spoiler

    I believe either in script books or on the DVD jms stated that since both the Shadows and the Vorlons were so much older and therefore (as scifi logic typically goes) more advanced that the only way the war could have been won as it worked out. Although, you are correct in saying it felt short...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I believe the logic behind how Vintari acted is that he really hasn't got out much and met aliens and chiefly that he is still very young and has much to learn. Haven't you just blurted stuff out to make small talk then over the years trained yourself to be more careful?

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Whatever the cause of Peter David's number mistake the one thing he did get right was that the trilogy ends in the year 2278. That's the only on-screen year for when Londo and G'Kar die (check "In the Beginning") and all various the prophesies about the death of Londo and the age of David...

    Yep. Here's what jms had to say on Feb. 13, 2000: Here's another short blurb from May 5, 2000:

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I did want to add a little bit about the continuity between the Centauri trilogy and Voices in the Dark. On the DVD we are told by Vintari that he is third in line to the throne behind Vir because the Centarum voted him second in line in other words public knowledge, but in "Out of the...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Here are some of my very lengthy thoughts. Both parts of Lost Tales were excellent :D This is an anthology series and so needs to be judged a bit differently than an episodic series. I felt that the Lochley story was very well done. Shades of Twilight Zone meet Babylon 5. However, that's...

    Season 2 Episode 1 (and 2?) Title Sequence

    Actually I just saw this episode and it did have the correct title sequence. I have a Region 1 DVD and I bought my copy when it was first were released in 2004.

    Season 2 Episode 1 (and 2?) Title Sequence

    Mr. Video Productions has recorded most of the different openings and made them available for download. The videos are very high quality. The only omissions are in season four. I've written the site's owner a few times over the years about this but he refuses to honor his word.

    The Techno-mages trilogy - answers & spoilers

    I knew that quote was around I just didn't get it :D. Anyway, I summarized what Cavelos said in the interview; which you can listen to. Maybe she just forgot what she had access to at the time. I didn't personally interview her, but if I had and she said Joe didn't show me the "End of Line"...
